| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Something Zoff with Andrew Heaton. I'm your host Ted Baxter. |
| 0:16.0 | And today we're going to be talking about sex, or rather the dearth of sex, presently accompanying the United States people. |
| 0:23.4 | Most of the data that's out there right now, most of the empirical research |
| 0:26.4 | indicates that Americans are actually having less sex now than we have been historically, |
| 0:30.8 | which might come to a surprise to you if you're watching any amount of |
| 0:34.2 | television or movies which tend to portray us as everyone having sex but you, but in |
| 0:40.5 | fact that is not the case. There are statistical declines in the amount of sex people are waiting later to start having sex and they tend to be having less sex in their 20s and 30s. |

| 1:24.2 | off with Andrew Heaton is brought to you by Snuffies off Route 44. Snuffies is a fine |
| 1:30.4 | American diner which prides itself in great food and good times. |
| 1:34.2 | With one-eighth of a Michelin star, you can count on snuffies for the finest pistachio |
| 1:38.8 | burger this side of the Missouri River, and the best deep deep fried sourcrowd on either. |
| 1:44.8 | But Snuffies is known first and foremost for its talented weight staff who take your order |
| 1:50.2 | and serve it to you on horseback. |
